Ingredients
  

For the Bites
  • 1 bag Tater Tots Use high-quality frozen for best results.
  • 1 lb Ground Beef Substitute with turkey or plant-based meat if desired.
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Dry Minced Onion
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Can swap for American or dairy-free cheese.
For Assembly
  • 1 cup Ketchup Classic condiment for flavor.
  • 1 cup Dill Pickle Chips For crunch and tang.
  • 12 pieces Toothpicks To secure bites.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the frozen tater tots on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dry minced onion. Shape into small patties slightly larger than the tater tots.
  3. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and juicy.
  4. After flipping, place a small square of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
  5. Assemble bites by placing a tater tot on a platter, adding ketchup, a beef patty, a dill pickle chip, and another tater tot. Secure with a toothpick.

Notes

Ensure tater tots are hot when assembling to help everything stick together. Avoid overworking the beef for tender bites. Use non-stick pans to prevent sticking.
